Hello, wen't to do my CIC yesterday passed weapon test first time around, but failed my 1.5 run by 10 seconds! I think I could of done better but i've had this cold which is on my chest so I had severe pain not trying to make excuses but my sgt said they should of let it go.. bit pissed off cos i was only 10 secs over, going to get my fitness back up and give it ago in a few months..

It may seem petty, but they've got to draw the line somewhere and if you allow 10 seconds over, where does it end? More to the point, a pass in a PFT is just the start point for fitness in the infantry so use the intervening months to your advantage and get as fit as you can for your next attempt at CIC!

Cheers for all the positive comments, I will definitely work on my fitness!
If anything this has opened my eyes up a bit more, and I understand my fitness need improving so that's exactly what I will do. This gives me the opportunity to build up my fitness so i'll use it to my full advantage, thanks guys.
